    In India, vegetarianism is neither religion based, or money based (usually). It’s more cultural. That’s why the Hindu population is 70% and vegetarianism is only 35% (not saying that it doesn’t play a role, but the main reason is different). People who live near the coast, for example, are more likely to eat fish. People who live in the desert (Rajasthan) have the highest rate of vegetarianism, for obvious reasons (animals need a lot of water). I highly recommend you look at a map of vegetarianism in India by state to see how varied it is.

    Religion particularly caste is still one of the main factors, like for example 55% of Brahmins tend to be vegetarian, ofc region also plays a role like as you said landlocked and drier states are more vegetarian than coastal states. Also Hindu population is close to 80% (79% according to 2011 census) and the ~35% vegetarian population also includes non-hindus (for example Jains, there are also significant vegetarian minorities among Christians and Muslims in India).

    Also I don't think being poor or rich matters at all in this. If you're asked the question 'are you vegetarian', you don't think 'yes, I'm too poor to be non vegetarian'. Yes, you might not eat meat on a regular basis because you can't afford, but that doesn't mean you're a vegetarian and won't eat meat when presented with the opportunity to. Same goes for rich people, if a jain family becomes very wealthy, they won't suddenly become non vegetarians. You'll also see higher non vegetarianism in many African countries than in India and China. Are they richer, and is that why they're non vegetarian? Not really (usually). So yes, I would not correlate wealth and non vegetarianism at all.

    18:05 it's a really wrong assumption that vegetarianism is related to money. Yes, religion and just tradition is a legitimate reason, but money definitely is not. Infact there is a huge part of informal Indian economy from homestead based animal husbandry which a lot of low income population rely on and they grow their own chicken, goat and cow. Meat industry in India is extremely informal and largely not industrial at all. Sometimes carrots cost a lot more than eggs here, especially if you grow your own chicken. And people who are involved in fishing as also not high income either and their main protein source are fish. Also it would be interesting to see how the data for the IQ is collected, because neither me or anybody I know of have ever taken an IQ test? So were did that data come from?

    6:20 note on his claim here; the median age, or the age of the exact middle data point on an oldest-to-youngest-person scale, indicates the age of the person with an equal number of people older than them as there are younger. While a smaller number could indicate, as Toycat says, that more people are being "spawned in", it can also be read that more people are having their "health bar reach zero" early in their lives--the difference of more young vs less old. He also mentions averages; averages are means, not medians, and are found by taking the sum of all data points and dividing it by the number of data points. While they are usually close to each other, it's an important distinction to make, since an extreme outlier--centenarians, in this case--can easily skew a mean while having a relatively smaller effect on a median, depending on the size of the data set.

    Agreed but ‘average’ can be used as a term to describe mean, median or modes etc. It’s a blanket term for all of them whilst being viable to use as a substitute for any of the individual terms themselves. So you can say that a median is the average, of a type of average, of a data set.

    So I looked into it and I don't know that Bhutan had a 50% sales tax. Articles from last year indicate that the country reformed to a flat 7% GST, and noted that the sales tax it was replacing taxed different goods at different rates. It also noted that certain goods were taxed higher (one document I read gave category numbers) alcohol with a sales tax of 100% and tobacco of 50% in the new system. There was likely some goods that were taxed at 50% in Bhutan at the point of sale under the old system (some are taxed at 100% now) but likely not all, and this tax rate reflects more of a sins tax then a sales tax.

But if Africa had as good schools as they have in Germany, with good teachers, infrastructure, internet, computers, laboratories, and no corrupt government, they would be doing as good as Europe in terms of IQ.

    Young correlates with not wanting homosexuality.. Totally ignores that the map of islam and the map of hating gays is EXACTLY the same map.

    Fun fact: it's bright in his studio cause he probably has lots of windows open in the studio, it gets super hot in the UK in summer, and it does it really quickly (or atleast from where I am in England)

    It gets 40C in America and is to warm. Theres a reason they cant bare 50C in Canada. While in Britian you can expect 30C depending where you live. Itnis because Britian is on average 53 degreese North when America is a lot lower. There only exception is Alaska of course.

    @j new semantics isn’t exactly a good argument. Just makes you look like a childish twat who splits hairs lol. Water is *absolutely* wet, and the grass outside is all green baby.

    interpersonal trust is VERY strongly correlated with several other factors: - national self-esteem - feeling that the country as a whole is on a good track - internal security, obviously - strength of divisions in the matters of politics (inversely) The map is quite out-of-date by 2021.
